By recovering energy from flue gases and reducing water consumption, the EcoRec EFC – 5000 supports eco-friendly operations, improves efficiency, and cuts energy costs across various sectors.

An industrial condenser cools gases into liquids by removing heat, typically through tubes or plates where cooling water or air absorbs thermal energy. It’s used in power generation, chemical processing, and refrigeration.

Ensure proper flow rates and temperatures of the cooling medium, regularly clean surfaces to prevent fouling, and use sensors to monitor key parameters like temperature and pressure for efficiency.

Costs include energy for fans and pumps, maintenance, and water treatment. Energy is the main cost driver, and systems like heat pumps can reduce costs with higher energy efficiency.

They capture and repurpose heat from gases, using it for other processes like preheating or generating steam, improving energy efficiency.

Thermal expansion is managed using expansion joints, flexible piping, and proper supports to prevent damage from temperature changes.

KPIs include heat transfer efficiency, pressure drop, cooling medium temperature differential, and energy consumption.

Consider the type of gas, condensation rate, cooling medium, temperature, pressure, and space constraints. Select materials and designs suited for the application.

Use baffles, flow devices, and CFD analysis to evenly distribute the cooling medium, ensuring uniform heat transfer.

Use stronger materials, thicker walls, and reinforced connections to handle high pressures, while managing flow rates and pressure drops.

The cooling medium’s temperature and flow rate, surface area, temperature difference, and cleanliness all influence the heat rejection rate. Regular maintenance is essential for efficiency.
